how long hospital stay for a c section
Ao my last one was 3 years ago how long they keep u after a c section ??
Yah!!! That's the great thing about first and second time incisions, internal disposable stitches and dermabond!!! Awesome!!!!! I am glad your delivery went well!!!! Congratulations mamita!!!!
Delivery went awesome and he glued me shut and it looks beautiful
Yah!!! Congratulations!! You have your self a personal body guard there ma'am lol!!! Big little guy!!! How did your delivery go?????
Wow that's a big baby! Congrats!! How did they close your belly?? :-)
Well had the baby healthy 9lb 10 oz c section went very well :-) im at home now
My doctor used glue and sutures with me. I am going to ask what they're going to use this time. My scheduled csection is Oct 16th
Thanks now I have a couple question for my doctor tom such as I want to be closed with stiches staples and glue joke lol but never thought about how he was going to close my belly humm
I wasn't required to go #2 before going home. And I was glued shut. You'd think I live in a third world country, haha! But I live in a big city with world class medical facilities. I guess there are lots of different ways of doing things. :) Maybe ask your doctor how long they'll keep you so you have a better idea. Congrats on your baby!
Actually I didn't mention the first bowel after a cesarean delivery because that is not the case in all deliveries. My first 3 yes, doctors changed certain regulations. Some woman take longer to pass a bowel then others. It doesn't necessarily mean there is a bowel structure or injury. Simply some take longer. Up to a week as a matter of fact, it's common! Maybe not to person who's had just 4 or less but from experience and research it's normal. Stool softener is given to help loosen bowels, it's not a laxative exactly. So your not expecting to run to the bathroom every minute. But it's to help soften your making it easier on your body to pass bowels without using other methods.
And I live fairly close to Tennessee, I live in Georgia. Dermabond, should never and isn't medically safe to continue using if the mother has had at least one cesarean. More then one cesarean delivery, dermabond holds risk for a lot of complications!!! And none of which are it's sole purpose, bonding. It's unlikely to be successful after a previous cesarean, on the other hand. Sutures and staples are!
The glue is called what??? DERMABOND...It's a medical super glue. And yeah, some doctors are willing to risk more then others.
Also they keep u for3 to 2 days to see if u go # 2 and bleeding is normal.
Weird not one person has mentioned the fact that you cannot go home after a cesarean until you have gone #2 potty. Bc there is a chance after a cesarean for your bowels to not work properly etc can cause severe problems and lead to surgery. Anyways you cannot go home until you've gone poop. Usual stay in us is 3-4 days.
In East TN they use glue. So i think it depends on the Doc.
My hospital is only 48 to 72 hours and if its tour second then its more towards 48 hours.
And no, I am not on a high horse...I just am very educated on this subject. My OB actually invited me to take a class with him and I studied cesarean deliveries a lot while I was in college. I took classes with him offered by him to help him. In our area we have do not have many nurses who are bilingual. I speak four languages. So I volunteer at my doctors office often, for free!! He does discount my monthly prenatal payments, which usually is high!! My insurance went up after my 5th child, so it's a big help!! And fun!!
Let's get medical about it...Dermabond isn't often used anymore, years ago yes. Not anymore. Why!!?? Because it's known to cause horrible allergic reactions, and mothers do not notice until it's to late. Causing itching, often they scratch to the point parts of the incision is reopened, not safe (obviously). One in every fifty cesarean deliveries, doctors may choose to use a small amount on the corners. Depends on the weight of the lady and any allergies to medications. Very uncommon method in 2014. Surgeons will sew the skin with a absorbable "Subcuticular Suture", which is known to be used in first time cesarean deliveries and in some cases like mine, which I have had 6 cesarean deliveries expecting my 7th, both the suture and staples are used, for the sake of no rupture of the incision both internally and externally.
Glue is actually a really common way to close incisions and cuts instead of stitches, from my experience. Not the uterus, those are disposable, but the actual skin.
Three days in Michigan
Staples are used after your first, second etc
They use internal disposable stitches, glue isn't any option in with an incision.
She was born on a Tuesday before midnight and we were home Thursday afternoon. I didn't have any staples or stitches. I'm pretty sure my incision was glued closed. It healed up really well.
Thanks :-)
Yeah well your thirst will be the last thing o your mind lol.. when you finally are walking to the operation room, you'll feel like your walking the green mile..ugh!! But hey, I am excited for you!!!! I can't wait for mine!! :-) I hope the best!! Lots of blessings your way!!!
